Spring 2013 CETL Teaching Squares
Gain New Perspectives and Insights Into Your Teaching

The CETL Teaching Squares Program is a mentoring program that allows full-time and adjunct faculty to gain new perspectives and insights into teaching through a non-evaluative process of reciprocal classroom observation and self-reflection.

The program began in Fall 2012 and the qualitative feedback has been excellent, proving that this program is well worth your time.

Teaching Squares consists of four faculty members from the same campus (preferably from different disciplines) who collaborate for one full semester. Each faculty member will observe each class within their Teaching Square and then meet and discuss, through a guided process, what they have learned about their own teaching from the observations.

For more information, see the CETL Blog. We hope you will join a Teaching Square at NOVA!
